Alex R. Work

Alexandra R. Work is an Associate with Arias Sanguinetti Trial Lawyers in the Southern California office. She represents plaintiffs in personal injury matters and brings a unique combination of litigation experience, business acumen, and legal technology innovation to her practice. Alex practices in the areas of personal injury, premises liability and wrongful death.

Since beginning her practice, she has quickly developed substantial litigation experience, managing a docket of approximately 90 active cases, arguing motions in California courts, handling discovery disputes, participating in mediations, and defending depositions. Before joining Arias Sanguinetti, Alex served as a law and motion attorney at a boutique plaintiff firm where she regularly drafted and argued demurrers, motions to strike, motions to compel, and oppositions in both California Superior Courts and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

Alex’s background also includes significant criminal defense experience. She worked on matters involving capital murder, federal white-collar crime, fraud, bribery, robbery, and other serious criminal allegations. Her responsibilities included trial preparation, witness development, appellate briefing, sentencing memoranda, focus group participation, and jury selection strategy. She was involved in preparation related to proceedings in State v. Robert Durst and worked extensively on federal habeas matters involving death row prisoners through the Office of the Federal Public Defender.

A recognized early adopter of legal technology, Alex has designed and implemented a sophisticated AI litigation agent consisting of more than 20 custom-built projects supported by extensive coding frameworks. The system improves firm efficiency, enhances client communication, and contributes to stronger litigation and settlement outcomes. Alex closely tracks changes in artificial intelligence law, ensuring these technologies are navigated with a rigorous commitment to both data security and client privacy.

She earned her J.D. and M.B.A. from Boston College’s Schools of Law and Management, after graduating from the University of New Hampshire with her B.A. in Economics. While attending Boston College Law School, Alex worked with clients in both Boston Municipal Court and Boston Immigration Court helping to secure relief under the Convention Against Torture. She also served as an intern with the ACLU National Prison Project.

Alex also gives back to the legal community by providing pro bono, currently offering representation on an asylum case. When she is not practicing law, she is a photography enthusiast and she and her husband share their home with their five free-roam bunnies.
